< Song Of Time (15-8 favourite) looked a youngster with a future when bolting up in the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Auction Maiden.

Paul Deegan's Kheleyf filly had run well on her debut at Leopardstown and showed the benefit of that experience with a nine-length demolition of newcomer Bob Younger

The winning trainer, ending a losing run of 25 days and 35 runners, said: "She did it well, she had a lovely first day at the office at Leopardstown and I think the step back in trip suited her today.

"She probably hasn't beaten a whole lot this evening but she's tough and genuine with plenty of boot."

The Edward Lynam-trained Tweedy went one better than on her first start at Fairyhouse as she made all under Wayne Lordan to take the Go Racing In Kildare Maiden.

Lynam said of the half-sister to the stable's smart Duff: "She did it well. If you had asked me leaving Fairyhouse would she have won here today, I would have said yes, but then Fran (Berry) chose something else in the race so I wasn't too sure.

"We'll stick her in a handicap and teach her some more and get her going."< Solent Ridge (5-1 joint-favourite) took over a furlong or so out in the Fishery Lane Handicap and ran on strongly to take the six-furlong event for Ger Lyons, who said: "It was long overdue, his form suggested he could win here.

"Ideally he's a seven-furlong horse, but he's come back to his form well."

Michael Halford's Desert Romance (13-2) held on for a short-head verdict in the Kill Handicap.

Champion apprentice Gary Carroll had his mount in the lead on the turn for home and the pair had just enough in hand to repel the late charge of Kalacan

Halford said: "He battled really well and he loves the fast ground. He is improving with all his racing.

"He ran terrible the last day, he came back and he was all wrong in himself.

"He is getting stronger all the time, we will stick at his game and hopefully we'll pick up another one."
